Delivering aid, care, and comfort to Los Angeles’ most vulnerable citizens
Here we are again, still managing in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. Although beaches and local establishments are all in the process of opening up throughout Los Angeles County, it’s important that we continue using good judgement and exercise the safety precautions that will help prevent the spread of the virus. So please continue being careful and mindful.
The Tribe has been performing benefit concerts for the Get Together Foundation since 2015. Inspired to do something for GTF during the coronavirus pandemic, they put together a beautiful concept video of the classic Beatles song, ”With a Little Help from My Friends” , later released by Joe Cocker. It was debuted during our  All Together Now   all-star telethon for the City of L.A. on April 25, 2020. Click on the link above to check it out, and if you feel inspired, please make a donation to the Get Together Foundation HERE .
We continue helping those in need by providing HAND-WASH KITS and MEALS to several homeless authorities throughout Los Angeles. 
We service the  Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority   (LAHSA), The Midnight Mission , Project Angel Food , Cornerstone, and last month we added several more agencies thanks to Partnerships Manager for Children’s Hospital Los Angeles , Leanndra Martinez, ASW (pictured above left in blue)

Thanks to the help of our wonderful San Fernando Valley volunteers, our Hand-Wash Kit program is exploding with goodness. We have high schoolers, college students, and adults alike all helping to assemble our kits containing bottled water, hand-wash soap, napkins, and an information card into plastic, resealable bags and boxing them up for pick-up every week.

Also a big shout out to the Chatsworth Kiwanis & Key Clubs for their ongoing support.
